also on debian or ubuntu based distros you have the biggest selection of programs available.

AUR and nixpkgs have a massive amount of packages and are more up-to-date, and basically anything not on there can be installed with Flatpak

Would also be interesting to see a Rust version of Genode

I use the FairEmail client

I’ve used Ayugram and Nagram and haven’t been banned

It also blocks Tor, other instances don’t

reddit actually defended the piracy subreddit? lmao

Does Odysee even use LBRY anymore? They abandoned the desktop app a while ago and I’m not sure how else you can use the protocol

(if so, then assuming everything is on Odysee then it’s about as federated as Bluesky)

Asahi Linux doesn’t support encryption and getting it to work requires a lot of steps and that I reinstall it which I don’t have time for, so I don’t have it enabled on my laptop, and if it gets stolen or confiscated I’m fucked.

I have it enabled on my server and phone.

Also Hexbear and Lemmygrad were populated by r/chapotraphouse and r/GenZedong users respectively when those subreddits got banned, which happened before the main Reddit exodus that populated instances like .world

I started my self hosting journey on a Dell all-in-one PC with 4 GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, and Intel Pentium, running Proxmox, Nextcloud, and I think Home Assistant. I upgraded it eventually, now I’m on a build with Ryzen 3600, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD, and 4x4 TB HDD

On Telegram, MyInsta is “instasmash”, Instaflow is “instaflowupdates”

There isn’t a functional open source frontend that I’m aware of, the best you can get is modded like MyInsta or Instaflow (or Revanced if you want open source mods)

Idk what people need Brave for, the only Chromium-only site I came across this entire year was the GrapheneOS web installer. LibreWolf is completely free of ads and tracking though so it’s better than Brave. Firefox’s news feed has been suspiciously similar to stuff I’ve browsed and it has ads also so I don’t trust FF either.

Or use a distro that doesn’t come with ads

You need to run bleachbit on all that

it has a GUI installer (i use arch btw)

nix/guix can be used on any distro and it provides a way to organize .config files so that if the .config directory gets deleted or accidentally modified for some reason, restoring it would be very easy. By putting the configuration in a git repo, it also makes it easy to restore previous configurations. I accidentally deleted a bunch of stuff in my .config directory once and that’s one of the reason I use this tooling now, so I thought OP would find it helpful also

When people want “Linux” on their phones they’re talking more about the ecosystem than the OS

Use nix home-manager or guix home and put your configs in a git repo (this is my guix home config for reference)
